Hi,
I am mixing a song of my friend and got stuck at eqing the vocal track. Could anyone please help me in eqing this vocal track? (just the subtractive eq)
Here's the vocal track: [media]https://soundcloud.com/abhinavjoshua/leadvox/s-8IWcB[/media]

In case you need the .wav file : http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=1021320

 

You should check out "Recording Revolution" on Youtube. He has dozens of very good tutorials on how to mix vocals, it might "unstuck" you

Hmmm, and how can you EQ a vocal track without hearing the whole mix? *no*

 

i usually massage vocals in this order:

-eq out resonant frequencies with a linear phase eq.

-compress it with a la2a

-sweeten it with a neve 1173 , add some drive for warmth

-compress more if song is dense

-add reverbs(ambience/room/hall) via auxes

-limit for safety
----------------

like this : http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/bi5XSKED/file.html

on the right side of the player turn on "hd" from "sd" for high quality or just download file. with the linear eq i used a high-pass filter at 100hz, found resonant frequencies at 250-425-2khz, where i notched with the narrowest q -8db each. ask anything later if u need more help.

ps.:now u know my trick ;)

 

Don´t know if it helps you, but this is what i would do with this Vocs.

Yo bro why would you think any one could magically EQ the vocal with no backing track?? if thats the case then just leave it as is, add reverb and call it day lol

 

An industrial track? Distort it and run it trough a guitar cabinet (or amp sim/convolution reverb).

 

Baxter have you listened to it? It's not even close to industrial...

 

It was a joke.
It could be a very mellow industrial track.

 

Hahaha...

 

Thanks man! That sounds good.
You just answered what I needed!
